Abstract

SHAI, Nwabisa Jama  and  SIKWEYIYA, Yandisa. Programmes for change: Addressing sexual and intimate partner violence in South Africa. SA crime q. [online]. 2015, n.51, pp.31-41. ISSN 2413-3108.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/sacq.v51i1.4.

South Africa has a number of locally evaluated interventions that have been designed to prevent sexual and intimate partner violence before it occurs. This article describes such programmes that have been evaluated and found to be promising or effective. Seven locally evaluated primary prevention interventions are described, along with the evidence regarding their level of effectiveness. These interventions include mother-child, parent-teen, individual and group-based interventions. All of these interventions are developed based on evidence and primary prevention principles: a sound theory of change, cultural relevance, participatory methods and evaluation through randomised controlled trials.
